Sweet Potato
Adult Guinea Pig
I don't know what's changed but since the beginning of lock down hay poke has become a regular occurrence in our house. I know every incident of hay poke should be seen by a vet but I've always been able to remove the hay myself so I have only been to the vet on one occasion where the surface of the eye looked foggy. they gave me extra eye drops which i have been using for a few days after each incident. I just don't know how to reduce how often this happens it seems like it's every other week but before the first incident in April I'd never had it happen at all.
My boys get their hay in large hay racks and in a cat litter tray during floor time and sometimes in the cat litter tray in the cage as a treat. we use pets at home meadow/timothy hay mix. the first time it happened it was during floor time but has happened mostly in the cage since. it is usually Gundhams left eye but has been Gundhams right eye once and spud has just got his first hay poke in his right eye.
does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I hate to see my boys suffer. I know this is just something that happens but I have had the boys for nearly two years without it ever happening and now it seems to be constant and I haven't changed their care at all.
